Effective and inclusive feminism adopts an intersectional analysis. It must therefore be anti-racist, decolonial, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic and against other forms of oppressions that oppress persons, with a particular emphasis on those most negatively impacted by, and who do not benefit from, the patriarchy (this being those who do not identify as cisgender males).
"If feminism is about defending women's [and non-binary, intersex, two-spirit and many other gender identities that are not 'male'] rights and equality, intersectional feminism is about understanding how women's [and non-binary, intersex, two-spirit and many other gender identities that are not 'male'] overlapping identities - including race, class, ethnicity , religion and sexual orientation - influence how they experience oppression and discrimination.
In terms of privilege, a white woman is penalized by her gender, but has the advantage of her racialized identity. A black woman is disadvantaged by both her gender and her racialized identity. A Latino lesbian woman is discriminated against because of her ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation .” -Alia E. Dastagir, USA Today
